It was the second year that the automobile club has staged the show at the rugby club and was organised by Mark Baggs.

There were also a number of classic motorbikes in the show including Ronald Hull and his Brough Superior that was made for his grandfather in 1919 and has remained in the family ever since.

The North of England Classic and Pre-War Automobile Club is the largest Historic Vehicle Club in the North of England with over 900 members.

The rugby club benefitted from the gate money on the day and kept visitors well refreshed with the kitchen team serving up breakfast and a barbecue, plus a pop up tea room serving tea, cakes and sandwiches.
